New Wildcat X
 
so with side by sides it seems that each manufactuerer just keeps upping the ante every year. gone are the days where we see one model last more than a year or two before theres a bigger and badder version available.

this is the Wildcat 1000X.

pretty much takes care of the issues in the 2013 wildcat, more power, better suspension, etc. basically, its the version everyone was hoping for. we hope.....

not cheap though, they start at $18,000. no thanks, not something for me.

nosbusa 06-09-2013 04:28 AM

thats almost lt for the raptor....... might as well do that..... and you can still drive it on the road. too expensive of a toy to only use on ohv

SBA800 06-09-2013 12:32 PM

Yeah way to expensive as a toy only.

Unless you use it every weekend all weekend.

NickPic83 06-10-2013 06:53 AM

wow starting 18k. yikes and its still artic crap. lets see what issues they have this year...

took my RZR out yesterday. damn i gotta ride it more. i friggin love it.

SBA800 06-10-2013 01:10 PM

haha yeah, its still an arctic crap at the end of the day.

but hopefully its better. competition is good. keeps the ones on top (polaris) keeping things fresh and new. and better

NickPic83 06-10-2013 07:37 PM

im really waiting on what yamaha has coming out. tomorrow is supposed to be a big announcement

SBA you are right, this will push others to up their game.

SBA800 06-10-2013 08:28 PM

yamaha will never break into the sport side by side industry, unless they have something super insane, priced very very competitively.

and even then, will take a while before it takes off as it will need real world testing and feedback

NickPic83 06-10-2013 08:58 PM

agreed but u gotta start some where. just think about when the RZR 1st came out. 1st sport sxs and more expensive than other ohv's. now companies are in a race to build the biggest and fastest sport sxs and the price tag keeps goin up and people keep buying...

SBA800 06-10-2013 10:32 PM

haha yep. i dont think anyone will knock polaris off the top spot though. they got a pretty firm grip on the market.

NickPic83 06-11-2013 06:40 AM

we will see. i will say one thing, polaris does seem to step it up a little every year and have more models than anyone else. they got 170, 570, 800, 800 S, RZR4, XP, XP4, XP jagged edge and LE models for almost every one. im actually looking for a used 170 for my sons or i might just get a pitster double X LE or wait for the 200 that is coming out soon...

SBA800 06-11-2013 12:04 PM

yep, they got a version for everyone. the 570 and 800 are great for trail riders, as they are the same width as most trails limit the width at. so they are trailable. the s and 900 models are to wide. as are the widlcat, and i think the canams are to wide as well

NickPic83 06-11-2013 12:19 PM

My S just fits some tight trails. Not crazy about how tippy the standard 800 feels...

SBA800 06-11-2013 12:26 PM

haha a guy i know rolled his 570 due to its skinny ness.
broke his arm.

he is now making it wider. i wouldnt like the skinny ones either. but some trails are only legal to ride skinny ones on.

NickPic83 06-11-2013 07:19 PM

yeah i was looking into the 800 LE but i just knew i wouldnt leave it skinny. it just dont handle like i feel a "sport" machine should. so i went with the S-LE plus that let me get the fox podium shocks

o yeah 6PM Pacific time yamaha makes the big announcement, supposedly their new SXS...

SBA800 06-11-2013 07:43 PM

heard from a guy in the business between now and the next 3 years yamaha will be making 100-150 new/updated product announcements. sounds like their gonna be doing a lot in the next while

NickPic83 06-11-2013 09:27 PM

SBA800 06-11-2013 10:16 PM

NickPic83 06-12-2013 06:59 AM

NickPic83 06-13-2013 09:58 PM

SBA800 06-14-2013 10:03 PM

nosbusa 06-24-2013 01:53 PM

NickPic83 06-24-2013 08:36 PM

nosbusa 06-27-2013 01:04 AM

SBA800 07-02-2013 12:45 AM

NickPic83 07-02-2013 06:40 AM

dunno i think they are fugly

SBA800 07-02-2013 11:28 AM

They look good at certain angles.

Maxx2893 07-02-2013 12:38 PM

I kinda like how exotic and different the wildcats look. That being said, RZR FTW

SBA800 07-02-2013 01:01 PM

^ agreed 100%

nosbusa 07-04-2013 01:49 AM

pfft. side by sides..........

SBA800 07-04-2013 03:43 AM

hey, some people are to lazy or fat for quads and bikes lol

NickPic83 07-04-2013 07:07 AM

I got mine so my kids can ride with me safely. Also my back is all jacked up so it's much easier to ride for me and not be crippled the next day

SBA800 07-04-2013 07:38 AM

Haha yeah, I know a few people who have them due to bad backs. It's a nice way to still get out there and have fun without the pain.

NickPic83 07-04-2013 07:54 AM

That's my thought exactly

Maxx2893 07-04-2013 01:52 PM

I'll admit it, you don't have that free feeling like you do on a bike or quad. But they are still very fun. Not many long traveled quads either.

SBA800 07-04-2013 08:05 PM

My sled is long travel, kinda lol. Not really but it's got a lot of travel.

It definitely wouldn't be the same kind of fun as a quad/bike, but it would still be fun as hell.
